Modern wood frame construction has many advantages to offer builders, homeowners and society in general. While ancient wood structures are beautiful and durable, wood frame technology has made great advances in the last fifty years resulting in a construction system that is energy efficient, quick to assemble and environmentally sustainable. In North America, where people enjoy the most comfortable standard of housing in the world, ninety five percent of new homes use wood frame technology.

There is a growing opportunity for builders in China to cater to homeowners who have discovered the benefits of wood frame homes. After the Wenchuan earthquake disaster, wood frame’s superior seismic performance has also gained wide recognition from local government and builders. Canada Wood Deyang College is open to meet the growing demand of wood frame labor in Sichuan area.
